OUR RESULTS
During the 2006-2007 season, Journeys from PADS to HOPE served over 670 guests through the HOPE Center (1140 E. Northwest Highway) and the 18 faith-based PADS sites throughout the Northwest Suburbs. The HOPE Center received over 6,193 visits from people requesting services, while the PADS sites provided 12,149 overnight stays and 36,447 meals throughout the season. Through the combined efforts of our volunteers and staff, we were successful in transitioning 39 clients out of homelessness and 309 clients in the past 6 PADS seasons out of an emotionally degrading life and into one of hope and independence, giving clients a much needed sense of belonging.
Our commitment and our hearts know no bounds. Journeys’ employees are assisted by 48 HOPE Center volunteers as well as a pool of 3,000 PADS volunteers across 18 sites. At the HOPE Center we are able to provide case management, mental health counseling and vocational services. Our sites provide over 42,775 volunteer hours a year, which translates into countless opportunities for human engagement and hope for a better future for our homeless neighbors.
